Write On

 Expressing yourself in writing can be a cathartic and rejuvenating practice. Whether it's deathless prose or undying tripe, it is often the one thing that keeps otherwise unrelieved emotions from destroying the vessel that holds them. So here are a few suggestions for discovering the power of the pen in your own life:


1. Using attractive bits of homemade or otherwise inspiring paper, write out 20 or more "emergency affirmations" and keep them folded up in a beautiful bowl or basket. Then, when an attack of the "too bad, so sad" doldrums has you down, pull out one or two and let their power buoy you up.

2. Buy a cheap journal or notebook and write out all your worst thoughts and blackest fantasies. Keep it hidden away in a private place until complete, then ritually burn it to destroy all that horror in the heat of the purifying flames. If it still leaves an "aftertaste," take the ashes outside and bury them under a tree where they can nurture its growth. Likewise, individual negative thoughts or images can be written on individual slips of tissue paper and either burned or flushed down the toilet (where, by the miracles of waste treatment - how perfectly apropos - they will be converted back to healthy materials)

3. Send an anonymous "happiness" note or card to someone you know who needs it - or someone you don't know at all. Either way, you will be sending love and joy out into the world with no expectations or attachments to "spin" the message or weigh it down. This is the purest expression of love and the one that will return to you to the fullest.

4. Using lipstick, eye pencil, grease pencil, soap, or some such marking tool with staying power, write your goals in affirmation form (present tense, specific and measurable) on the bathroom mirror where you will see them every day and where, by becoming part of your reflection, they will become part of your imprint in the world around you.

5. Write the story of your life as you would have preferred to have lived it, and then write the story of your life as it has been. Find the spot where they intersect (the present moment in both tales) and let the former take over for the latter. Find ways to live out your ideal story in your real-life until the two are no longer distinguishable. Then, if you have time, you can go back and get to all the stuff that "happened" before the joining that you never had a chance to do before.

The pen is indeed mightier than the sword, and it can be a powerful force in our lives if we take the time to entrain it to our needs. While not everyone has the Great American (or other country's) Novel in them, we all have a story to tell and a life worth reading about. So open your heart to the page and let the ink of your life write a fine and flourishing line.

Unfaithful 2002

My dear, the pace of the film is perfect. We found out about Connie and Edward's life before meeting Paul. The two have a beloved son, Charlie, who adds a lot of humor to the film, but in the wrong way. After the case begins, we see that Connie's feelings go from excitement to complete disgust. And of course Edward inevitably discovers. His reaction is the least interesting and perhaps very sincere. The acting is great, especially Diane Lane. The sex scenes are quite awake and I found myself uncomfortable at specific times, but it's interesting to see how different sex was with the therapist and sex with my wife. And in that sense, the "unbeliever" is wonderful! Watch the world slowly turn its head down and split into pieces around these two people based ONLY ONLY (the first scene in front of his apartment: Should he come in? Should he come? One? choice, a moment in time. a world of difference). Based on the choices, the drama begins to build, until at the ...

Where Are the Most Beautiful Women in the World? (A Thoughtful Take) by Titan007

 Beauty is a conversation that never ends. With 195 countries on the planet and billions of unique faces, bodies, styles, and personalities, the idea of “the most beautiful women” is naturally subjective. What one person finds stunning, another might simply find interesting; what one era celebrates, another era challenges. Still, curiosity persists. We notice patterns—cultural aesthetics, skincare traditions, fitness habits, fashion sensibilities, and the way confidence radiates differently around the globe. So let’s explore the spirit of the original question with care and respect. Instead of declaring a definitive ranking (which would miss the point), we’ll look at ten countries often celebrated for women whose style, presence, and charisma frequently capture the world’s attention. Think of this as a guided tour through beauty cultures—how women present themselves, what local traditions emphasize, and the traits many admire. And remember: beauty can’t be boxed in. It is as much a...

Alfredo Di Stéfano: The Blond Arrow Who Built a Football Empire Written by Titan007

 Before Real Madrid became the symbol of European dominance, before the white shirt became linked with continental glory, before the Champions League was the dream stage of every great footballer, there was Alfredo Di Stéfano. He was not simply a striker. He was not only a goal scorer. He was not the kind of player who waited in the penalty area for the ball to arrive. Di Stéfano was everywhere. He defended, passed, pressed, dribbled, organized attacks, controlled the tempo, and scored decisive goals. He was a complete footballer before the modern game even had a name for that type of player. Nicknamed “La Saeta Rubia” , or “The Blond Arrow,” Alfredo Di Stéfano became one of the most important figures in football history. His career spanned Argentina, Colombia, and Spain, and his influence helped transform Real Madrid from a renowned Spanish club into a global football powerhouse. His story begins far away from the bright lights of Madrid. A Childhood Born Into Football Alfredo St...
